A hose fills a tub of 4 ounces per minute. How many pints per hour will the hose fill the tib
There are 16 fluid ounces in a pint. So, the hose fills the tub with 4/16 = <<4/16=0.25>>0.25 pints per minute.
Therefore, the hose fills the tub with 0.25 x 60 = <<0.25*60=15>>15 pints per hour. Answer: \boxed{15}.
To solve this problem, we need to understand the conversion factors between ounces, pints, minutes, and hours.
1 pint = 16 ounces
1 hour = 60 minutes
First, let's calculate how many ounces the hose fills the tub in one hour.
Since the hose fills at a rate of 4 ounces per minute, in 60 minutes (1 hour) it will fill 4 × 60 = 240 ounces.
Next, let's convert the ounces to pints. We know that 1 pint is equal to 16 ounces, so we can divide the total number of ounces by 16 to get the equivalent pints.
240 ounces ÷ 16 = 15 pints
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub with 15 pints per hour.
To calculate the number of pints per hour that the hose will fill the tub, we need to convert the given information into the same units (i.e., ounces per hour to pints per hour). Here's the step-by-step calculation:
1. Convert ounces to pints: Since there are 16 ounces in a pint, each ounce is equal to 1/16th of a pint.
- 1 ounce = 1/16 pint
2. Determine the rate per hour: Multiply the given rate per minute by the number of minutes in an hour.
- 4 ounces/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 240 ounces/hour
3. Convert ounces per hour to pints per hour: Multiply the rate in ounces per hour by the conversion factor for ounces to pints.
- 240 ounces/hour * (1/16 pint/ounce) = 15 pints/hour
Therefore, the hose will fill the tub at a rate of 15 pints per hour.
